My WAW wants a separation and has mentioned she intends to date and might even sleep with someone else (not sure if that last part was true or if she was just angry that evening). Her behavior certainly suggests she is ready to date - she hangs out with single and divorced friends, and texts like a crazy teenager.

Anyway, I've got other news to announce to her soon (I'm not moving out and leaving my house and kids) and I also intend to tell her I consider those actions unfaithful, unfair, and not part of marriage or even a separation.

I understand if she needs some alone time (separation) to think things through but if she just intends to use it as a bridge while she seeks another relationship then what am I sticking around for? I've always been faithful, a good dad, and I refuse to be dragged through the mud while she does comparison shopping.
